    Abstract: A unit pixel of an image sensor includes a charge generation unit, a signal generation unit, and a ground control transistor. The charge generation unit generates photo-charges in response to incident light and provides the photo-charges to a floating diffusion area in response to a transmission control signal. The signal generation unit generates an analog signal having a magnitude corresponding to an electrical potential of the floating diffusion area based on a reset control signal and a row selection signal. The ground control transistor is coupled between the floating diffusion area and a ground voltage, and is turned on in response to a ground control signal.
